Bottled. Amber colour with no head. Aroma is citrus, some grapefruit, tropical fruits and a mild sweet alcohol sting. Flavour is very fruity and nectary along with some sweet malts and mild alcohol. Has some bitterness, but is actually quite easy to drink.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2016. This one has a blurry golden yellow colored body with a nice white islandy sidesticking head. Smells nice. Well hopped, a but sticky perhaps. Here's melon, red apples. A bit tropical pineapple. Nice. Oh, it's quite strong in the taste. Super hop concentrated. It has a sticky oily texture in the mouth and it's soft and prickling on the carbonation. Yellow flavor, some hoppy zestiness, it's quite hop herbal - like hop tea. Spitzy lingering and quite mouthdrying in the aftertaste. A sharp one, but I like it! 14.05.2016

A golden beer, a head is big and blond. Aroma has grapefruity and citrucy fruitness, strong note of bittermess. only hint of caramel. Taste has richness of malts and slight caramel, strong bitterness, good balance, some fruitness. Almost full bodied. More fruitness would be nice, now straightforward, good balance.
